Anybody thinking of going? If we can sort out the electrical issues that keep my Beaumont from staying running for any length of time, she'll be putting in an appearance. If not, I'll take something else. Never been, but it's very positively reviewed by those who have.

Has anyone installed their own vinyl top without removing the chrome drip rails? My drip rails are original and in great shape. I would hate to damage them in removal and the have to replace them with repops. Looking for some direction and advice on this project.

My 66 sd came with a vinyl top as an option. I would like to have one installed. Did you have it done in a shop? Has anyone tackled this project? Where did you purchase your top? Any info appreciated.

I need a pair of male end pigtails for my 66 sd restoration. Does anyone know where I can find these. I could always replace both male and female pigtails with a different setup but just thought I would ask on here.

Well, after 7 years of looking for the rear quarter moldings I gave up. The trim for these cars is truly made of unobtanium. I figured its a driver and not a show car so I cleaned up the originals as best I could and put them on. -- Edited by Lt1 Burb on Sunday 5th of February 2023 06:57:00 PM

Joe is amazing at his craft. Will have the car in his shop over the next 5 months. In the meantime, I am going over the interior and deciding salvageable parts to reuse. Others ill probably post here for grabs.

Removed the boxing frame pieces off a wrecked frame today. It was rather easy, they were only welded with a two inch weld every two inches. I ground the welds off and it popped apart. I will now weld it back onto a regular frame, turning it into a boxed convertible frame. Its interesting that the two five f...

I know the autopact came in in 1965, so the beaumont and acadian was created before that due to high tariffs on US cars being brought up to canada. But can someone explain how it all worked between 1965 and 1971. Because acadian and beaumont production carried on long after the 1965 pact. I think a...
